In the last week I've noticed things, things that I have around me that I realize are good things. Things that others might appreciate too. Simple things.
And here is one thing that I am not too happy with these days -- my bathroom scale. It seems to be stuck on the same number. Hummmm, maybe too many dumplings and pickles.................LOL What are some of your favorite "simple" things in life?

I have decided to start taking care of my self as some of you know from me speaking of my weight loss. Mom is suffering from Alzheimers and I do have some cancer that runs in my family. Not too mention the fact that I have diabetes, high BP, am overweight, and recently found out that my colesterol is a little high. A recipe for heart disease and disaster. And having to go to the heart doctor recently has made me sit up and take notice of my life. I have been overweight for most of my life. As a kid I was always 10 to 20 lbs. bigger than my friends, but in high school had lost most of that and looked good for graduation. At 20 years old I weighed in at around 160 lbs, then having two babies in the same year added 100 lbs, to that total. It's been 26 years and I'm still trying to loose the "baby fat", LOL. So with all of these issues looming over me, I have made a decission that now is the time for ME to get into shape! My biggest dream is to see my children fall in love, get married, and have children of their own, basically my dream is to some day be a grandma. What good is a grandma who is sick and can't have fun? I asked for an MP-3 player for Christmas to listen to while walking and decided that it was time for a new pair of shoes. When I tell you that I have never ever paid so much for my shoes, I'm not kidding. Not even as a teenager did I spend money on shoes. I am not and have never been, into names or labels. I have always been at least one year behind on all the trends. After someone else wears it and is done with it and sells in a garage sale or I find it in a thrift store, that's when I'm in style, LOL. BUT, the other day I noticed that my walking shoes, which were also from a thrift store, were starting to show their age. It felt as though they were starting to hurt me. So I opted for a brand new pair. I figured I was worth the investment. My son wanted to return something at Academy sports store so I figured I'd look there. True to my frugal self I started at the cheap end of the isle. They had a couple of pairs that interested me, mainly because they only cost $19.99, lol. But alas they hurt in a spot or two, didn't fit right. Moved on to the $29.99 pairs, again those had issues. I was determined not to cross over to the dark side and pay more than $50.00 for a pair of shoes. So the winning pair was the one pictured below. I am wearing them right now trying to break them in before I head out for a walk. I have to say, it didn't pain me as much as I thought it would to hand over $40 to the cashier. I mentioned to her that these were in fact my first ever pair of Nike shoes. The look she gave me was funny, like I was from another planet or something. Yes, I am from another planet, one called "Cheapsville" right next to "Frugaltown". LOL I was so excited I even called my son at work and made him laugh with my experience and left a message on my dd's cell phone that her mom was indeed a big girl now.

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a Ped Egg. It was given to me by my wonderful daughter. She put together a beautiful gift basket of different lotions, brushes, powder, soaps, and this great gadget. I waited a day or two before I had time to use it. But I finally used it and I just have to tell you all that it is fantastic. I have always had bad feet because I love running around bare foot and we all know that isn't very good for our little tootsies. My heels were almost always dry and cracked, and most times I was embarrased to wear sandles or backless shoes. Well not anymore. This wonderful little invention has cured all of that. I'm telling you ladies, its fantastic. A friend of mine has one and I watched her use it on herself and to be honest it kinda grossed my out at first, you know, dead skin and all, lol. But it really works. So next time your at the store and you pass by this item, and you have problem feet, pick this up. It is one of the best buys for your $10. This not a commercial and I'm not being paid for this, LOL it's just me wanting to share a good thing with friends. |

I posted once before about all the "free" stuff I receive in the mail from many organizations and charities that I sometimes donate to. Well once again I have an abundance of items that I will not be using. This times it's Christmas cards and gift labels. I am not the type of person that throws ANYTHING away. I always try to find another use for it or another home for things. So I thought with times being the way they are and just yesterday on the blog someone mentioned that they can not afford to buy or mail cards this year, I thought I would offer a package that may be helpful to someone. I have a package that I have put together that includes the following items.
Sorry I don't have a picture, my camera is still not working, I'm so lost without it too. So if anyone is interested in these items just leave a comment here on my blog. If I should get more than one comment I will draw a winner from the bunch. I will let this ride over the weekend and pull on Monday morning. Hope this is helpful to someone. |

From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!!
A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'
The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in,
and washes all the dirt off of you.
Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and
puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

I received a phone call yesterday from my bff Debbie, and she is coming for a visit. Debbie has been going through so much in your life lately, that I'm so glad she is finding the time to get away for a few days. Life around here is slow for now, Thank the Lord, just what she might need. We will just sit on the porch and chat for hours and hours. Ahh good stuff! So with that said, I'm on a cleaning frenzy this morning and will be busy untill Sunday, with my friend, lol. So I wanted to wish everyone a great weekend and if you need me, I'm on the porch! |
